Backyard Bunny

A couple weeks ago I noticed a small rabbit (Eastern Cottontail) in our backyard. This is the 3rd rabbit encounter on our property that we know of.

A cute creature that is fun to watch. Funny thing is we'll see the rabbit for a couple days, then not, then suddenly it's back for a few days, and then it's seemingly gone again. I think we just happen to be missing it moving around some days and with all the stuff growing out there through the Summer, there are lots of places for it to hide.

No name has been given to the rabbit, we just call it "the bunny". Here are just a few photos of him.

August 7th was the first day to see him out there.



We're enjoying the last weekends of Summer at home, so I'm getting more time to photograph him. Last August we were blessed with the young Skunks to watch in the daylight hours, this August, we have him.







Angie spotted him zoning in the flowers along the fence. We know he hides in there but sometimes he's in deep and can't be seen that easily.


Hopefully he stays in our backyard and the ones nearby, calling this home. We're already planning to make a big brush pile for him to hide in when the backyard turns bare through the Autumn season.

We have a LOT of rabbits around the house this year. They decimated my carrot patch. After the second planting disappeared I conceded to their benefit.

It's been an absolute joy having "The Bunny" in our backyard, and I hope she continues.

We had a baby bunny spend last summer with us but sadly, we think last year's visiting Pine Marten got him. :( Love the photos of your bunny in the flowers!
